Growing the Corrigan Krause team and promoting our professionals allows us to build the strongest and most effective team for our clients. During this unique and challenging year, our team more than rose to the challenge, working together to keep our clients informed and up to date on financial and legislative changes. A number of our professionals developed their skills and earned a much deserved promotion.
We are pleased to announce the promotion of the following eight employees:
Kaitlin Dorsch has been promoted form Manager to Senior Manager.
Kaitlin joined Corrigan Krause in 2019 as a manager with ten years in the accounting industry. Kaitlin leads the Not-for-Profit specialty group where she provides consulting auditing, reviews, compilations and prepared financials.

Luke Krevh has been promoted from Manager to Senior Manager.
Luke interned at Corrigan Krause in 2012, and then spent three years at a big four firm. He returned to Corrigan Krause in 2017 and now leads our Mayfield Heights office. He uses his experience with the firm to tackle client problems quickly and effectively. His clients appreciate his responsiveness and knowledge, though Luke says one of the most beneficial parts of working at Corrigan Krause is the opportunity to learn even more from interacting with his co-workers. With his goal-oriented team mentality and easygoing nature, Luke’s peers enjoy working with him on tough projects. Luke is also a member of the manufacturing specialty group.
